Which Recording program and Computer do you use?

Tracktion on a Dell Inspiron 6000. Came with my Mackie 1220 and I haven't run into a reason to change. Goal is simply demo / personal project / Copyright recording, but I'm extremely happy with the results.

Logic 5.5 / Reason 3 on PC.

Thinking of moving to Sonar due to SATA drive problem with Logic.

Protools 7.3 On two different macs (one G5 tower before intel and the second The new duo Core intel Powerbooks for mobile recording.)

The new Powerbook is great no complaints here.

REAPER 1.808 on an iMAC 2.0GHz -2Gb RAM-BootCamp-XP SP2 Optimized.

I tried every daw possible in the last year, Reaper blew me away with it's speed and stability, simple on the surface but deeeep underneath, fully customizable and the best routing scheme bar none. It's developing so fast I have no doubt it'll be leading the way in another year, I could use it as is and I'd be happy, but the constant updates mean it's always exciting over at our forum. Cheers.

I have one laptop and 2 workstations along with a third Internet machine all Pentium 4's and dual Centrinos. I most often work in Adobe Audition 1.5, sometimes 2.0. I also like Sony Vegas 6.0. I recently purchased an M-Audio Transit, so I can run ProTools MPowered which I have as yet to procure, a full working version. I just hate crippled trial software. It's rude and you really can't function like that. A 30-day timeout of a full functioning program would be better.

I don't currently own this unit but work regularly on the Alesis HD 24, standard version. It has decent converters and the ability to dump the hard disk drive into your computer for mixing in the box, or to export through a multitrack output, like my MOTU2408mkII, back into the Neve analog console and back into a 2 track digital input. Besides, I like dedicated single function recorders. And not necessarily a prone to failure PC or other computer on location.

Always listening

I currently have logic 4.8 gold but since I purchased a new pc I am now searching for a software that runs on xp. I have tried several programs and really liked samplitude but the cost is a little more than I can handle at the moment. I am strongly leaning towards Sonar 6. It was the second most intuitive program to me. I see by this list there are a few programs I didn't know about that I will be checking out.

amd x2 3800+ aus m2n-e 1gig ram

Just bit the bullet and bought Cubase 4 the other day. Now the learning process begins :S

I guess it starts with a room for recording

Well I use two PC systems networked together.
the smaller older Intel 2.6 hyper-threading 3 gig M-Audio 24/96 set up has Sonar 5 and 6, Cu Base SE, Live lite 4, 5 and 6, Acid pro 3,4 and 5, Reason and Fruity-loops. T-racks, Vegas 7, Sound forged 8.
this machine also has Internet, a small 80 C drive for fast searching and a 200 for program and VST storage.

VST's and programs transport by fx-teleport to the main working PC by the network but the common ones are also stored on it.
No Internet on it
AMD 2 by duel x64 3800 at 2Hz, 3. gig ram AMD Live!™ motherboard
160 C: Drive Sonar 6, Vegas 7, sound forge 8, T-Racks.
you guys will hate this but
Audigy 4 pro, 64 bit, optic out.
RP-DJ1200 phones
sure and apex mics, A Gnx-4 (lots of fx) a digitech Vocalist Vocal Harmony Processor reverb unit
Right now I use a Lite-on DVD with light scribe to make a hard copy of tracks and demos and to test the per final burn in the car.
The car stereo never lies about how your mix/master sounds

lots of pics on the web if you google BWMAC

Just upgraded to Logic Pro for use on my core duo Mini.

Cool

I think Protools is more useful in audio editing/mixing and cubase for Midi but logic can handle both audio & midi very well. My only problem is that I am a pc user so I prefer Protools&CUBASE...

Samplitude on PC, I've just come over from Nuendo and it is very similar and quick to pickup but does so many of the basic things I have been waiting on nuendo to do for ages.

Cubase 4 on a home-built PC. It is an AMD socket 939 Opteron 170 dual processor. I'm currently shopping for a motherboard and CPU as I plan to build a new Intel Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad system and dedicate it to digital audio recording.
